I have reported about many email encryption services released after the NSA Spying cases, and most of them released only for the purpose to defeat NSA, so today one more email encryption service has came to save your confidential emails from the snooping eyes.A new project called Dark Mail will hide your metadata, as others do, but one thing that makes it unique and special is —you can use this service to send a mail to a another mail service provider too, as generally in other email encryption service, you recipient must use the same email encryption service.
Email Metadata is also known as Email Header, Makeuseof explained in a post about this:
An email header is a collection of information that documents the path by which the email got to you. There may be a lot of information in the header or just the basics. There is a standard for what information should be included in a header, but not really a limit to what information an email server might put into the header. If you are curious about what a standard for an email protocol looks like, check out RFC 5321 – Simple Mail Transfer Protocol. It’s a bit hard on the head, especially if you don’t need to know this stuff.
In simple words it all includes of every email in a raw format, like you can see in your gmail mail too, click on down arrow at the right side of a mail, and click on show original:
